Ice and Fire novel Chapter 688

The family sat around the dining table, enjoying the delicious food. Greg took good care of Violet, as he kept busy putting more food in her rice bowl.

Fred was happy to see that they were so devoted to each other. He wished nothing else but Greg's happiness.

However, Sharon was envious of Violet. 'Greg is not being nice to me anymore. What is worse, he even got angry at me because of her. And now, Greg is being so loving to her. Violet, you are really a lucky girl who has managed to fascinate my son!'

"Greg, Violet, do you have any idea when the wedding bells are going to ring?" asked Fred abruptly. He hadn't got a chance to ask Jackson what his suggestion was yet, as he wanted to know about Greg's and Violet's decision first.

"We won't hold a wedding ceremony. We have decided that we will have a trip honeymoon," Greg answered with ease while enjoying the dinner.

"You won't have a wedding ceremony? Don't you want to take wedding pictures either? Ho-ho, what kind of marriage is that going to be?" Sharon commented.

Greg put down his chopsticks and growled adamantly at Sharon,"Even without a wedding ceremony, our marriage would be legal. But what about you? You also had a wedding ceremony when you got married to Dad. So what? Did you get the recognition from the wives of wealthy families?"

"You...!" Sharon was speechless. Greg's words had touched the sore spot she had When she had married Fred, she had pressed him to hold a lavish wedding ceremony for her. She wanted everyone to know that she was the new wife of Fred's. Many people even attended their wedding, but after that, Sharon wanted to make friends with the ladies of wealthy families, but none of them was willing to meet her except Carol, who still kept in touch with her.

"Stop the topic," said Fred. He didn't want them to start the quarrel again. He then said to Greg,"Since you do not want a wedding ceremony, a wedding trip is also excellent. I know it is popular among many young people. You two just go to any place you like, I will pay for the trip."

Greg still kept his eyes fixed on Sharon, not replying to Fred.

Violet glanced at Greg and then she replied to Fred,"Thank you, Uncle Fred."

"Ho-ho, Violet, don't you think it is time for you to change the way you address me?" said Fred with a grin. Violet was quite clever and sensible, she must be a good girl. Greg had made a good choice. It was really lucky that he would marry Violet, the daughter of the Chu Family.

Violet smiled and then she shyly said,"Yes, you are right, Dad."

"Good. Now, Violet, you are now the daughter-in-law of the Xiao Family. Don't hesitate to ask for my help if you need it at any time, okay?" said Fred in high spirits.

"Okay, thank you so much, Dad," replied Violet.

"Greg, you two can live in your own room together. If you need anything, just tell Sharon, she will get it arranged for you," said Fred.

"There's no need for that. We have everything we want. But, Dad, I want to discuss something with you." said Greg.

"Well, what is it?" replied Fred, eating the food at the same time.

"I bought an apartment. I and Violet may live there later, but we will visit you often," said Greg.

Fred thought about it for a while and then replied,"That's okay. Living in the apartment or staying at home both are okay. Everything in your room will be left as it is now, which will make it convenient for you to live at home. Greg, remember to give Violet the key to our house."

"Okay, I know," said Greg, grateful. His Dad always understood his feelings and Greg was confident that he would do it for this too.
